Red @ Glentress, because it is the best .....

 Spooky Wood

Hmm not sure I have a fave trail being a roadie who does rough stuff as a part of a journey from A to B.  Have enjoyed so many over the years for varying reasons, and found a few I would rather not return to.

However I will always have fond memories of the first ever off-roading I did, probably very tame by most standards, but there is a wonderful bridle path route to Coughton Ford nr Alcester in the midlands.  My first cycle ride with a club went out there from Cov on a glorious sunny day in summer and we had a great half hour playing in the ford once the trail was completed.

1600m of pure joy down  

Hhhm I actually love my local trail straight out the house... 12 mile loop can be as long as you like though and its fast singletrack 90%. Just THE best thing after a day at work. Its a bit gnarly with roots and has all sorts of surface.  It winds through woods, down tight bridleway, across a golf course, past a stately home and mid way is a cake and t stop... sigh..Nirvana. Can we an all out hard core blast with gears or a great singlespeed workout...which in fact I usually ride faster...cos you have to.  I once read a piece in singletrack world called my 200 meters of heaven or sommat and my local is def mine.  I have riden this bit or trails hundreds of times and I still get giddy at the prospect of some bits...will its be 100%...if it is its gonna be sooo fast...if not you have to use your skills to weave and duck about in the trees.. its just lush...

 right I'll shut up now..............................

Carolyn... spooky woods sounds fantastic...never been how shameful! Its such a slog from darn sarf though

New section of Whites at afan is flippin amazing too on the man made front

It's superb it won Singletracks best man-made trail last year didn't it.
